O’Connor smashed her own British record of 2:06.88 minutes to secure her name in the history books.

After competing for Team GB at London 2012 and picking up a trio of European short course medals, O’Connor enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2014.

She claimed six medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with gold in the 200m medley adding to four silvers and a bronze.

In the same year she picked up three World Championship short-course medals before winning World long course bronze in the 200m medley in Kazan and gold in the 4x100m mixed medley with Chris Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty, Fran Halsall, Ross Murdoch and Rachael Kelly.
